Dover School

The Dover School A Continuous Learning Organization

Founded in 1971, The Dover School provides a challenging comprehensive academic curriculum. Our 3 year old program is enriched with Music, Physical Education, Foreign Language, Health and Technology Integration. We offer pre-kindergarten (1/2 day) through sixth grade instruction in a warm, engaging, and academically challenging environment. Students who reside in Dover are given a choice among any secular school for grades 7 -12.

The Dover School is a high achieving school. Our students consistently achieve high scores in the New England Comprehensive Assessment Program. Our low student-to-teacher ratio of 1 to 10 allows our teachers to provide differentiated instruction, individualized attention, and achieve successful academic results. Our school has large interactive SMARTboards in each classroom and a one to one netbook program in grades 2nd through 6th.

The Dover School grounds reflect an authentic Vermont environment. The campus is located on 31 acres including a 14,000 square feet building, a playground, mountain bike and snowshoe trails, baseball field, and soccer field all surrounded by woods of maple, birch, and oak. The large school building with fewer than one hundred students allows room to explore, expand, and exhale.

Our faculty is experienced, highly educated, and engaging. Dover School educators participate in local, district, and state professional development. Our school program includes many opportunities for students to collaborate with peers and students from other grade levels. Students are challenged to demonstrate their learning in multiple environments. It is common to find students building models, giving lectures, preparing technology presentations, reproducing historical events, participating in a dramatic productions, as well as writing stories, problem solving, and articulating their knowledge through assessments.

The Dover School is a truly unique place that makes our community proud.
